"" HAIR-FRIZZLIN G IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,515, dated September 1, 1885.

Application filed March as, 1885. (No model.)

' till Improvements in HainFrizzling Irons, of

which the following'is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved hair-frizzling iron for the use of wig-makers, hair-dressers, 8:43., by which a uniform pressure is exerted on the hair to be frizzled and the invention consists of a hair-frizzling iron the handle of which is of bent wire, with a spiral spring at one end and crossing legs at the other end, the cross-legs being provided,

respectively, with a solid and a semicircular piece, between which the hair is interposed for being frizzled.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side View, Fig. 2, an end View, and Fig. 3 a vertical transverse section on linear a), Fig. 2, of my improved frizzling-iron.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the spring handle of my improved irizzling-iron, which handle is made of one continuous piece of wire of suitable thickness, and bent at one end into a spiral, a, that exerts a spring action on the opposite ends of the handle. The opposite ends I) b of the handle A cross sidewise each other and are made parallel, and provided, respectively, with a solid cylindrical piece, d, of metal, and a semicircular piece or shell,

6, that fits over the solid piece d. The spring ct holds the cylindrical piece (1 and shell e tightly together. By pressure on the middle bulging portions of the handle the parts d and e are separated, as shown in dotted'lines in Fig. l. The ends of the hair to be frizzled are interposed between the heated pieces (I and e, and the hair then wound up around the same by turning the frizzling iron, so as to be frizzled by the same.

My improved frizzling-iron has the advantage that it can be cheaply manufactured, 0W- ing to its simple construction, that by the spring of the handle a uniform pressure is imparted on the ends of the hair, and that the instrument can be conveniently handled and the frizzling operation facilitated.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersPatent- A hair-frizzling iron consisting of a handle made of one continuous piece of wire, having aspiral spring at one end, and sidewise crossing and parallel opposite ends, the latter be. ing provided, respectively, with a cylindrical piece and a semicircular shell, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
